In an interference pattern, the ratio of intensity of two waves is $\frac{9}{25}$, then the ratio of maximum intensity to minimum intensity is: |
16 : 1 1 : 9 3 : 5 5 : 3 |
16 : 1 |
Let Intensity of two waves are 9I and 25I. $\text{Since } I_{max} = (\sqrt{I_1} + \sqrt{I_2})^2 , I_{min} = (\sqrt{I_1} - \sqrt{I_2})^2 $ $\Rightarrow I_{max} = (\sqrt {9I} + \sqrt {25I})^2 = 64I$ $\Rightarrow I_{min} =(\sqrt {25I} - \sqrt {9I})^2 = 4I$ $\frac{I_{max}}{I_{min}} = 16:1$ |
